TOKYO — (BUSINESS WIRE) — July 25, 2013 —
Toshiba
Corporation (TOKYO:6502) announced today that the launch of
"CIPS183BS210", a Contact Image-Sensor Module with a faster data rate,
for application in banknote recognition systems. Mass production is
scheduled to start in October 2013.

"CIPS183BS210" incorporates a newly developed linear image sensor and
offers a 16MHz data rate, twice that of its predecessor, the
CIPS183BS200. It realizes the same rate of banknote recognition in high
resolution mode (200dpi) as the current product does in high speed mode
(100dpi). This improvement realizes the high-accuracy and high-speed
banknote recognition required for application in the Chinese market.

The new module is 14mm wide against 18mm for the current generation of
product, and also offers improved luminous intensity distribution.

Customized module cases will be considered as an option, at the request
of customers.
